WEBVTT I MEAN, AS IT WILL SEE ANY LITTLE BIT, WE HAVE A CHANCE AT MORE CERTIFICATE SNOWFALL -- MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL. DOWNTOWN IS LOOKING QUIET. OVERCAST SKIES ALL DAY LONG. 26 AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE MAKING IT FEEL AT THE UPPER TEENS, SO NOT EXACTLY UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT NOT REALLY WARM. AND TO THE WEST, SNOW SHOWERS MAKING THEIR WAY ON IN, ALONG WITH THE CLOUD COVER AND MORE ROBUST SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF NEBRASKA AT THE MOMENT. SO THOSE WILL MAKE THEIR WAY OUR DIRECTION. BUT FOR THE TIME BEING WE REMAIN DRY, AND WE ARE CLOUDY TO GO ALONG WITH THAT.

'Frosty certainly had the last laugh': Vandal tries to run over giant snowman, hits tree stump instead

A would-be vandal was stumped after they tried to run over a 9-foot-tall snowman in Kentucky, only to find it had been built over a large tree stump. Cody Lutz told KCCI that he, his fiancee and his soon-to-be sister-in-law made the oversized snowman in Petersburg, Kentucky, while enjoying the winter weather this past weekend. Lutz said his his fiancee’s sister was “elated to experience the biggest snowfall she’s ever seen.” Lutz said he decided to use a tree stump as the base for the snowman. After coming home from work, Lutz said he found tire tracks leading up to the snowman, leading him to believe that someone tried to run over the giant snowman named Frosty. There’s now a massive stump exposed, with a snowy imprint of a bumper stuck to it. “You reap what you sow,” Lutz said. “Still standing, and still smiling, Frosty certainly had the last laugh!”
